Unemployment in US As the redundancy rate in American reduces drastically, economists are in consensus that the United States is close to attaining full employment. Harvey defines the concept as the level of employment beyond which any further increase in demand in the economy will not create more jobs (8). During a period of full work, all skilled and able workers have jobs, and their wages and working hours correspond to their productivity. Crucially, the only people who cannot find jobs when the economy in full employment are ones who do have the skills or ability to work and the frictionally unemployed. One method of determining whether the economy has achieved full employment is by comparing the actual and natural rates of unemployment. In the last quarter of 2018, the average actual unemployment rate was 3.775 (United States Department of Labor). Conversely, the natural rate of unemployment in the same period was 4.47481(Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis). In this regard, the actual rate of unemployment is less than the natural rate, indicating that the American economy is above full…

Causes of Unemployment among people with disabilities A person with a disability is someone who has a mental or physical impairment which has caused a long-term effect on her/his ability to carry out day-to-day activities. Despite passing of The American with Disabilities Act of 990, which guides on the legal rights of people with disabilities on employment, people with disability are still facing many challenges in getting a job. The hiring of people with a disability remains far lower when compared to people without limitation because of some reasons which can be solved regardless of cultural barriers. Employment of people with disability has been showing a negative trend despite the growth of economic conditions. The phenomenon behind this challenge is that employers’ biases and stereotype have made them be less willing to employ disabled people. Most people with disabilities are less accessed to education; special individual schools for those people are fewer compared to the number of disabled people. Less productivity of people with disability when compared with those without together with lack of the necessary abilities, skills and knowledge…
Equal employment opportunities In 1964 U.S senate passed civic rights, and a few days later, it was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 discourages discrimination in every sector, either the private sector or in the government sector. A section of the Act, namely Title VII, prohibits employment discrimination on the grounds of race, sex, color, religion, and national origin. Title VII applies to private employers, labor unions, and employment agencies. This Act prohibits discrimination in recruitment, hiring, assignment, wages, promotions, discipline, layoffs, and all other aspects of employment. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 1964 also established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a five-member, a bipartisan commission whose aim is to erase unlawful employment discrimination. Still, its mission has been shaped by more than this one legislation. Several laws and amendments, and some executive orders, have expanded, limited or directed the Commission’s responsibilities and authority. Government agencies involved in equal employment opportunity and affirmative action compliance or noncompliance is done in several criteria. The two standard standards mostly used are;…
APPLICANTS AND EMPLOYEES WITH DISABILITIES AND EMPLOYMENT AT WALMART Question 1a Walmart is a multinational company that operates retail stores and hypermarkets and has a large workforce globally. For any large organization, challenges are bound to occur. It is easy to forget about the rights of disabled people in a large company where a majority of employees do not have any physical or mental limitations. Walmart consists of over 2.2 million employees. Disabled people in Walmart become susceptible to discrimination due to the high rate of activities in the organization (Wexler, 2011). Question 1b Equal Employment Opportunity Commission upholds civil rights laws to protect employees against discrimination. Walmart hires a large workforce, which results in constant disagreement with the EEOC. The high margins of profits that Walmart makes motivates EEOC to persist with litigations. EEOC believes that winning these cases will build their profile and give them global recognition as a commission that protects the rights of employees. As previous records show, Walmart has been paying vast sums of money for clearing lawsuits (Wooten & James, 2005). Question 2a Since…
